NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans have many options leading into the player acquisition portion of the offseason.
The top front offices will gauge the differences in free agency and the strength of the draft and use this to their advantage to not overpay for high-priced free agents but acquire younger less expensive players of similar skill.
A good balance in the draft and free agency is necessary to replace players that no longer provide the production the team needs.
The Titans only have six draft choices and can’t fill all their needs in the draft. Free agency needs to be used to fill roster spots. With impending free agents like Marcus Mariota, Kevin Byard and Brett Kern they will consume a high price at their respective positions. The team has high salaries at a lot of positions, so it needs to maintain a smart approach this offseason.
